Dear All,

 

I hope this message finds you well. We are thrilled to extend opportunities to join our team at the Johns Hopkins University in developing a three-dimensional atlas of the human body, BodyMaps. We are actively seeking several skilled and passionate students to make substantial contributions to this program.

 

About the BodyMaps Program

 

BodyMaps is a rigorously mentored research program at the convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Medicine, hosted at the Computational Cognition, Vision, and Learning (CCVL) lab. It welcomes students, researchers, clinicians, and developers around the world. Over 9 to 12 months, candidates will lead high-impact research, receive training and working in small interdisciplinary teams.

​

BodyMaps AI Bootcamp

​​

We can host visiting students from outside Hopkins. There are multiple training positions open for undergraduates, graduate students, and post-doctoral scholars:

​

• Research Assistant

• Developer

​

Rolling applications, reviewed at the end of every month.​

BodyMaps Demonstration Award

​

​The BodyMaps Demonstration Award provides multiple one-year awards of up to $100,000 to support projects with strong potential to develop AI algorithms for early cancer detection from CT scans of the abdomen, pelvis, and chest. The program emphasizes multi-cancer early detection and prioritizes innovative approaches that demonstrate the potential to significantly outperform expert radiologist performance in both sensitivity and specificity.
